System setting and activation
System setting
• The driver can activate the sys-
tems by placing the ignition switch
to the ON position and by selecting
'User Settings →Driver assistance
→Blind-spot safety →Rear Cross-
traffic safety'. The RCCA and
RCCW turn on and get ready to be
activated when Rear cross-traffic
safety is selected.
• When the engine is turned off then
on again, the systems always get
ready to be activated.
• When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned
off then on again, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outside rearview mirror.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display by
selecting "User Settings → Driver
assistance →Warning timing". The
options for the initial Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning includes the
following:- Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning is activated normally. If this
setting feels too sensitive change the
option to 'late'.
The warning activation time may feel
late if the side/rear vehicle abruptly
accelerates.
- Later:
Select this warning activation time
when the traffic is light and you are
driving in a low speed. However, if
you change the warning activation
time, the warning activation time of
vehicle's other system may also
change. Check the warning activa-
tion time before changing it.
The driver can select the warning
volume of the Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning by selecting "User
Settings → Driver assistance →
Warning volume →High/Medium/
Low". However, if you change the
warning volume, the warning volume
of vehicle's other system may also
change.

Operating conditions
To operate:
Go to the 'User Settings →Driver
assistance →Blind-spot safety →
Rear cross-traffic safety' on the LCD
display. The system will turn on and
standby to activate.
The system will activate when vehi-
cle speed is below 7 mph (10 km/h)
and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
* The system will not activate when
the vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph
(10 km/h). The system will activate
again when the speed is below 7
mph (10 km/h).
The system's detecting range is
approximately 0.5 m ~ 20 m (1 ft ~ 65
ft). An approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed is
within 5 ~ 22.5 mph (8 ~ 36 km/h).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings when
backing up your vehicle.

If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BCW cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the RCCA system should operate
normally after about 10 minutes of
driving the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Check BCW (Blind-spot Collision
Warning) system
If there is a problem with the BCW
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. RCCW and RCCA will
not operate also if the BCW system
turns off due to malfunction. We rec-
ommend that you have your vehicle
inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
